Volunteers needed to teach Junior Achievement programs to a classroom of elementary school students at Robert Kennedy Elementary School on Friday, March 3rd for a "JA in a Day" event. Grades Kindergarten through 5th available.
Junior Achievement is a non-profit organization that teaches financial literacy, work readiness, and entrepreneurship to students in grades K-12 through community volunteers teaching our pre-prepared curriculum. Volunteers not only teach the JA curriculum to students, but also connect the content to the real world by inserting their own related personal and professional experiences.
"JA in a Day" is when an entire school has JA programs in their classrooms for the whole day. Volunteers are matched with a classroom, based on grade preference and availability, and teach a full JA program to that class throughout the day. All materials and lesson plans are provided, and volunteers are trained by JA staff on the curriculum content and student engagement strategies prior to the JA in a Day to ensure maximum success. If you have not taught with us before, we can schedule a training for you with JA staff at a convenient time and location.
